Application -January '11,

12' Claims.V

I'he object of the present invention is to 'projvide a simple and convenient `means Vfor wrapping hair as a preliminary to the treatment' thereof to curl it, the means being lpeculiarly effective in securing smoothness of the' convolutions as well as tightness on the 'mandrel'. Y An embodiment of the' invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:-

kFigure l is a side elevation showing the device l0A in place on the head and with a lock of ha-ir wrapped thereon. Y

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the mechanism. Figure 3 is an end elevation of the same. 'Figure 4 is a cross'sectional' viewon the-line #-4 of Figurel. Y

In the embodiment disclosed; a frameis vern-y ployed, comprising an elongatedbar S'With` upstanding heads Ir at its ends.' The'freeends of these heads carry offset arms 'I that terminate irlcears 8. Pivotally mounted on ears Sithatout; stand from'one end of the bar 5 isa-clamping 25.v the bar 5, is adapted to enter the bifurcation IIS,

this clamping bolt including :a nut `I 3 threaded thereon and arranged to overlie the free end of the clamping bar IU.

A mandrel I4 is journaled in the heads 6 and l extends longitudinally of the frame bar 5 and the clamping bar Iii at one side of the same. It is provided with a suitable key handle I5 by which it may be rotated. Pivoted to the ears 8 of the arms l are other arms I that overlie the arms I is and terminate in downwardly turned hooks I 1. These hooks constitute journal boxes for the gudgeons I8 of a pressure roller I9 that bears upon the mandrel I4. This roller I9 may be of yielding material. In order to secure yielding su pressure of the roller I 9 on the mandrel I4, stems 2l! may be pivoted, as illustrated at 2l, to the arms 'I and detachably passed through notches 22 in the arms I6. Coiled springs 23 on the free end portions of the stems are adapted to bear .15 upon the arm I6 and their tension can be regulated by nuts 24 threaded on the stems. If desired the pressure roller IS may be positively rotated by the mandrel I4 through the medium of intermeshing gears 25 carried respectively by these parts. However, it is possible that the pressure roller may be caused to turn by frictional Contact with the mandrel I4, or the hair wrapped thereupon. If the gears 25 are employed they may be covered by shields 26. In U5 order to prevent the roller I4 turning rearwardly 1934, Serial N0. 706,278

and loosening the hair wrapped thereonfa hold-r ing dog 21 may be employed that may be engaged with one ofv the gears 25 located on the rollerelf It is believed the manner of using thefdevicef will be clear by reference to Figures 1 and-4:.` The frame bar 5 is placed upon the hair at the scalp and the base of a lock of hair to be wrapped on the mandrel is clamped between andbythe clamping bar I0 and the frame bar 5. This can be readily accomplished as the bar Il)V canbeswung to open position as indicated in Figure 2V,- if the nut vI3 isscrewed toward the outer endo'f` the bolt I2 and the bolt swung out of the bifur cation of the clamping-bar. After the lock is placed the bar I0 is swung backagainst the same,- the clamping bolt placed in position andthe nut threaded down upon the bar IIJ. The'end of the lock' is placed between Vthe mandrel I4 andthe pressure roller I9, whereuponA by turning the handle I5, the mandrel and roller will be rotated and the lock will be wrapped tightlylandsmoothly' upon. the mandrel. If desired thelock fmay bedivided and part of the hair wrapped infopposite directions as indicated in Figure l. Or obviously it may be Wrapped all at one side of thebasef'of: the lock; When the lock has been"` wrappedthe arms Imay be released4 by swinging theastems 2l)y and Athe partszcarried .byfthemto disengaged relation with respect to the arms I6, whereupon vthe arms may be swung outwardly and the pressure roller removed. This leaves the mandrel with the hair thereon exposed to the further usual treatments well known in the art and therefore unnecessary to here explain.

From theforegoing, it is thought that the construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to` those skilled in the art without further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to with# out departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

What I claim, is:

l. A hair curling device comprising a frame, a rotatable mandrel journaled on the frame and on Which the hair is wrapped, and a pressure roller cooperating with the mandrel and journaled on the frame, said roller pressing against the hair wrapped upon the mandrel.

2. A hair curling device comprising a frame, a rotatable mandrel journaled on the frame and on which the hair is wrapped, and a pressure roller cooperating with the mandrel and journaled on the frame, said roller pressing against the hair wrapped upon the mandrel, said mandrel and roller being separable.

3. A hair curling device comprising a frame, a rotatable mandrel journaled on the frame and on which the hair is wrapped, and a pressure roller cooperating with the mandrel and journaled on the frame, said roller pressing against the hair wrapped upon the mandrel, said mandrel and roller being separable and one being removable from the frame.

4. A hair curling device comprising a frame, arms movably mounted on the frame, a rotatable mandrel on which the hair is Wrapped and a rotatable pressure roller coacting With the mandrel to press the hair on the mandrel as the mandrel is rotated, one being journaled on the frame and the other journaled on the arms, and means by which one may be rotated.

5. A hair curling device comprising a frame, arms movably mounted on the frame, a rotatable mandrel on which the hair is wrapped and a rotatable pressure roller coacting with the mandrel to press the hair on the mandrel as the mandrel is rotated, one being journaled on the frame and the other journaled on the arms, means by which one may be rotated, and gearing connecting the mandrel and roller to effect their simultaneous rotation. f

6. A hair curling device comprising a frame, a rotatable mandrel on which the hair is wrapped, journaled on the frame, a clamp for the base of the hair mounted on the frame alongside the mandrel, yand a pressure roller detachably journaled 0n the frame and cooperating With the mandrel to press the hair on the mandrel as the mandrel is rotated.
